"Master, do you believe that fleet is on Tatooine?"
While piloting the ship to Tatooine, Qui-Gon Jinn's apprentice, Obi-Wan, inquired.
"I don't know, Obi-Wan."
Qui-Gon Jinn shook his head.
"That's Hutt territory, far from the trade routes, indeed a haven for all sorts of fugitives, but I always feel things won't be that simple. Think about it, a fleet, hundreds of warships, the supplies and personnel needed are astronomical numbers, even Tatooine might not be able to support such a consumption of resources."
"Then, could it be the Hutts are behind this?"
Obi-Wan's speculation wasn't unfounded, the Hutts controlled the entire Galactic Republic's evil dealings, it could be said that behind all sorts of criminal acts, there were these Hutts' shadows, almost like the rulers of a criminal empire. If the Hutts were indeed involved in this dispute, it wouldn't be implausible.
"...… I always feel things aren't that simple."
Qui-Gon Jinn didn't immediately make a decision.
